FAQ

How can it be free? Freebuff is supported by ads shown in the CLI.

What models do you use? MiniMax M2.5 as the main coding agent, Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite for finding files and research, and GPT-5.4 for deep thinking if you connect your ChatGPT subscription.

Are you training on my data? No. We only use model providers that do not train on our requests. Your code stays yours.

What data do you store? We don't store your codebase. We only collect minimal logs for debugging purposes.

How It Works

Freebuff connects to a cloud backend and uses models optimized for fast, high-quality assistance. Ads are shown to support the free tier.
